12-11-13 deer hunt

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Officials are telling the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources board that cold weather and a struggling northern herd contributed to a down gun deer season last month. Preliminary totals show hunters killed 7 percent fewer deer than last year. The buck kill was down 15 percent. The northern area of the state saw a 15 percent decline in total harvest, the sharpest drop in any region.
